October Club Q Quick Quotes Bonus Ideas!

I know it is already the first part of November! The holidays are coming so fast!  WHEW!   My Bonus Projects have been up at Quick Quotes Gallery and Two Peas Gallery (both under my name!)  but it has taken me a few days for things to settle enough to get them to my blog!  Sorry for the delay!  With a sick munchkin at home and the Grand Opening last weekend of The Crop Around the Corner, my friend Tiffany Lovells' fab new store in Los Alamos, life has been crazy!  If you get a chance, check out The Crop Around the Corner!  It is a great new store with a totally new and creative theme, she is a scrapbook store that also carries a huge variety of local artists handmade gifts.  So she has a terrific store full of scrap supplies and unique and one of a kind gifts!  Seriously worth the short trip!  We will also be having scrap classes and workshops up there!  Our first is a 25 cards/tags workshop for $25, Saturday, the 27th of Nov.  If you are intersted, let Tiffany know right away, lots of folks signed up at her successful Grand Opening!  Did I mention Kelli (my best pal) and Allie (my teenager) went up and had a blast!  I did make and takes all weekend and met some really nice folks!  Ok, enough rambling...on to the CREATIONS!!

I had a ball creating with the Club Q from October!  I was able to sit right down and the creative juices just jumped right out!  I made some gifts that I know will be a great hit!  I will show you those in a second, but first, I want to show my favorite creation....Allie got her senior pictures taken and I picked a few to play with, hope you enjoy it!

This is such a pivital time in a girls life, I know the importance of the decisions she will make in the next year or so, I am not sure she has a clue.  I guess that's what being a parent is really all about.  It has just all gone so fast!    So I also decided to make a wall hanging for my Mom for Christmas, using some of the senior photos, the canvas wall hanging is done, but no photos yet!

this is the entire piece,  I stamped on the canvas with swirls to match the paper and it looks GREAT!  Here are more detailed shots:

My next effort was a teacher gift, consisting of a card holder and six cards with envelopes:

I love to do these for gifts,  This one includes four birthday and two thank you cards...All wrapped in a pretty little bag with a tag and a big ribbon!

Next I made a gift for Tiffany, for her grand opening, just allittle something to carry her paperwork back and forth! 

I don't know if you can see it, but I added liquid laquer and lots of stickles too!  I love these laminated bags!

Did I mention how much I LOVE the Club Q from Quick Quotes?  I really do!  Designing with the Club Q goodies, (that are like a present each month when they land on my door!~) is not only fun, but the papers and vellum poems and other quality goodies that are included are all ART, waiting to happen!

Thanks so much for joining me and making it clear to the bottom!  I appreciate ya!

This month, my goal is to get another post on, before I post my Bonus Projects again!  Wish me luck!

P.s. I would like to send out a quick Thanks to Quick Quotes for graciously providing the supplies and the opportunity to design!  I Love it!
